Unless you have good knowledge of electronics and can build your own wiring harness with relays, if you tap into the existing wiring then be prepared to have a dash full of warning lights. The BMW electronics carefully monitor the current draw on the lights, so if you add additional lights then it will sense a problem and set off warning messages.

The only good way around this is to buy the BMW wiring harness module, IMHO.

I don't know what that is, to be honest.

For good pricing, check with Kevin in parts at BMW of Macon (tell him you are a member of X5world) - http://www.bmwofmacon.com/Department-Parts.aspx
